National Geographic – a link to an article called “Six End-of-the-World Myths Debunked” which is a brief look at the six myths (to give you some ideas) and includes some interesting links to further information.

NASA – direct link to an article about 2012 and why the world won’t end from an astrophysics / planetary viewpoint; also includes interesting links to other articles.

The Draw of Doomsday: Why People Look Forward to the End – Yahoo article. I like this article since it looks at why people might be attracted to the idea of doomsday, the division of what kind of “end” it could be, and the reaction to such eschatology in survivalist and preparedness amongst even non-crazy people.

Profiling the Judgment Day Predictors – a tiny little article, I like the brief notation here explaining how socioeconomic factors can influence how one might believe (or not) in the end of the world.

Doomsdays Past & Present (Infographic) – not too much of an article, but a brief snippet of some of the leading doomsday beliefs, a bit of a timeline, etc. What I liked was the list of doomsday related films (research purposes, of course). 🙂

Apocalypse How? – an article discussing how scholars dismiss the May 21 prophecy, and why.
